Re: boc - has anyone heard about this?

the old tunes have been available for a few years, though they've never officially been recognized as being real/confirmed or not by the band. I would love to see an official release of the tracks though, or at least someone who has a copy of these rare tapes (I think one was on ebay once) get a proper transfer and flac em!

Re: boc - has anyone heard about this?

Well, looks like those tapes (or some of them) were confirmed like theirs by Marcus in a recent interview. He said that they should have been more careful about who they handed the tapes, and even that they think they know who leaked them. I know they've been working with past compilations, demos, lots of unheard work from 1980ish, trying to organize them, and probably release them someday. But it's more like an aside project, so it will take time.

Re: boc - has anyone heard about this?

They said somewhere that some of the old work doesn't fit with the BOC thing, so they couldn't release that stuff under the BoC project, but like I said in the other post, they've been working in an aside project organizing some of their old material (hopefully to be released anytime soon). Back in the days, there were rumors about the brothers themselves controlling the leaked old tunes when they just appeared in soulseek, and who knows if it was true. BoC just said that the legit old tunes were leaked by someone they know. So, we know there are in fact 'official' old tunes floating around, but nowadays it's not easy to get them since most of the supposed compilations are joined by lot of fakes.

Re: boc - has anyone heard about this?

I don't think so. I like Boards of Canada, but I feel that it's definitely limited music. So it's understandable that they have both people who fucking love them, as well as those who discourage any and all people from listening to them whatsoever...

Upcoming Shows:

Caribou @ The Fonda in Los Angeles on Saturday, February 28th

The Replacements @ The Palladium in Los Angeles on Wednesday, April 15th

Re: boc - has anyone heard about this?

They are good chill music... but from what i have heard and read, their live shows are something completely different.

Re: boc - has anyone heard about this?

we are only left to imagine what BoC is like live, because they have only performed a handful of shows ever. I love BoC, and if would definitely go to coachella 08 if they played (but I know it wont happen).

There're copies with shorted times, even with different titles.. Yeah, we KNOW there are legit copies out there, but how do we know which ones are the real ones and which are fakes? We can tell some sounds more BoC like, but sometimes that's not enough.

Among the hundreds of persons who claim to have the legit ones, I've just believed in two. Sadly, they won't share those tapes.
